UPS Uses USPS on Final Delivery

This is the second time we've ordered a package with shipping via UPS and had the final delivery be delayed because they hand the package over to the United States Postal Service for the final delivery.  If I wanted to use the United States Postal Service, I would have asked for them exclusively.   Fed Ex is looking more and more attractive these days.

L. L. Bean Keeps Getting Better!

I've been using L. L. Bean for years, and they keep getting better.   Now, they offer free shipping.   They used to offer it only to their customers that use their credit card.  They have a wonderful return policy.  If you're not completely satisfied, you can return the product at any time.   And I've thoroughly tested the return policy.  We've had a few suitcases I've returned after using them several times (one for about 10 years).   And they send us a brand new suitcase.   Save your receipts, because they'll credit you for the last sale price unless you can prove you paid more, and they have a huge clearance area.   I simply pull out the receipt and send it in with my return.   Lately, they've sent me email notification of delivery (I have them shipped to the husband's work address).   It's easy to make returns, because they provide you with a return prepaid shipping label with each order.   They'll deduct a set price for shipping unless you're a L. L. Bean credit card holder, then it's free.

When ordering, be sure to go through Mr. Rebates.   They offer a 3% rebate, currently 4% for back to school promotion.   Mr. Rebates has over 2000 stores and you can get up to 25% discount.  I've been paid over $450 since joining.
